My daughter has a very willfull not-quite-two-year old. Kaia is a very smart little girl but the usual methods of discipline do not work with her and being so little the loss of privileges doesn't work either. She is more headstrong than even my most headstrong was and I am frequently at a loss to advise her frustrated mommy.Cheetah, the cheetahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971204182299112369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1146367720368211662006-04-29T22:28:00.000-05:002006-04-29T22:28:00.000-05:00Yes, he needs to write a book on parenting and on ...Yes, he needs to write a book on parenting and on some apologetic topics. We are really blessed you are sharing with us online. Thank you for your words of wisdom. My children are so different in the way they learn and their personalities that I feel challenged from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and then some. I'm glad God blessed us with them in the order they came because he seemed to have saved the more challenging ones for later. I think I needed to mellow a little before the last two came or learn some things in advance. Is it because I'm getting older or more patient or is it that I lost my resolve, or got softer somehow? I'm certainly less uptight than I was with the first one. The older ones see the different methods that we use on the younger children and say things like, "that's not how you handled me when I did that." They all do require different things of us. I don't like to admit it to them but some of it is that we are still on a learning curve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1146252653760225012006-04-28T14:30:00.000-05:002006-04-28T14:30:00.000-05:00Has anyone ever told you that you should write a b...Has anyone ever told you that you should write a book?

My dad told the police that he would come down in the morning. He wanted my brother to spend a night in jail to see what it s like. It worked. My brother never got in trouble with the law again.<BR/><BR/>By the time you are a young adult, spankings do not work. I think you have to let young people suffer the sonsequences of their actions to some degree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593292323644117795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1146184639992250072006-04-27T19:37:00.000-05:002006-04-27T19:37:00.000-05:00Some children never learn though.

I'm not too worried about young children if they are tought correctly at a young age, but what I'm concerned with are high schoolers, kids my age and above. It's these people that I think will never learn, because it's extremely hard to discipline them, for it usually only cause more rage, and possibly massive family conflict. Could showing them what might happen to them in a few years be a resolution to this problem?Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734906737866840319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1146113713535084072006-04-26T23:55:00.000-05:002006-04-26T23:55:00.000-05:00Good advice here.

Also, different kids respod to different types of teaching. I've noticed many differences between bos and girls as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593292323644117795noreply@blogger.com
